Rapper Kanye West posted a unhinged string of tweets Thursday night that saw him praising Adolf Hitler and begging President Donald Trump to pardon Diddy.

Around 9 p.m. EST, West randomly tweeted out his support for Diddy by saying “FREE PUFF.” He then followed that up with the plea to Trump.

“@realDonaldTrump PLEASE FREE MY BROTHER PUFF,” West said.

Diddy — whose real name is Sean Combs — was arrested on federal sex trafficking charges not long after his homes were raided by authorities last year. He was denied bail and remains in custody.

Hours after his tweet to Trump, West continued his praise of Combs with a tweet at 2:35 a.m. saying, “PUFF WE LOVE YOU.” At 4:21 a.m., he predicted that he would win 20 Grammy awards and perform at the Super Bowl next year despite his continued support of Combs.

Later in the morning, West — who’s no stranger to anti-Semitism — began praising Hitler. In a series of tweets around 6 a.m., West proclaimed, “I AM A NAZI,” and that Elon Musk “STOLE MY NAZI SWAG AT THE INAUGURATION.”

The latter tweet was a reference to Musk’s controversial gesture at Trump’s inauguration. Though Musk has denied the gesture being a Nazi salute, the intent behind it has been the subject of debate.

He then sent out more tweets saying Hitler was “fresh” and calling himself “Yaydolf Yitler.”
